Chapter 1- Across the shadows
( before pescuing further, do read the note in above post regarding the story)
I settled myself behind a huge barren tree trunk from where I could only see the bonkers and Nandini but they couldn't see my face. My hands were shivering as consequence of the same were wandering in my head but somewhere I had a adventure excitement In me probably because I am crazy at head. I hurriedly dialled the numbers provided by Nandini and as much as I could figure out it was the PCR numbers which were used in case a lady is out of her place and is not able to avail a cab or a taxi at that hour of time, so PCR which comes under police control will reach you and drop you safely back home.
"What the f**k! She knows we have a car to ride back to home so why she needs a cab?" I whispered
as I turned towards Nandini, I could see her back facing me and changing reactions of the bonkers as their faces were forged with fear with hint of shock too. I was probably trying to guess which famous Bollywood fearful and powerful dialogue she just threw on their faces that made them sweat like anything.
Sighing with a smirk I got back to work assigned now I was to connect the nandini's cellphone gps system to the given tracking cord so that our locations can be traced. But point is who is the person she is actually informing too about our locations.
After continuously tapping my foot against the ground and biting nails out of nervousness as I stand stranded in the middle of, what is perhaps, the quietest road in all of India...okay I exaggerate, the quietest road in Chandigarh
I squinted my eyes as I saw headlights approaching, I didn't quite know if I should have been relieved or scared - it could be a serial rapist for all I knew. But I didn't have much of a choice, I don't think cars frequented this road a lot, especially at this time of the day. Seeing the fact that it was a PCR cab made me smile a bit and feel a bit safer. I debated putting my hand out for a lift but the car had stopped right beside me and the passenger side door was thrown open.
"Get in!" A voice thundered.
"No, wait it's not only me but my friend Nandini too!" I pointed towards the bonkers and Nandini who war bit far from us. But as my gaze met the scene I was shocked to see he bonkers getting handcuffed by policemen and Nandini walking towards the cab.
"Hello! I am really sorry that you had to come here at this point of time." Nandini apologised making me throw a crook shock look in her direction and they way they were comfortable with each other conversing I could probably make out one thing that they both knew each other and were even friends to some extent. But still, hell Mahn! This girl is so complicated.
"Get in, I will drop you back to your place!" The guy said politely.
"No no! My roommate is here!" Nandini pointed towards me and then smacked her forehead before she continued" where are my manners! Sorry! She is Mukti, my roommate and my friend! She is here to pick me up so we have a convince so it's absolutely no problem!"
I smiled as the guy exchanged pleasantries politely.
Soon we sat in the car, the leather seat cold beneath me and turned to look at Nandini as the car made its way to the main trunk road. I had so many questions in my head about what actually happened and I really needed to puke them out before it makes me think I am pregnant.
"that was fun!" I said casually with a cheeky smile only to be hit back by a cold gaze making me realise that either open your mouth to say something sensible otherwise it's looks beautiful when it's shut. I can't keep quiet for long so I thought to change the topic and if possible her mood too.
"I wish I had a life like you, these intense looks with power of lady dabang and tongue of singham! You are a complete mini package of Bollywood actors."
"Shut up!" Nandini roared making me shiver me till the spine even car glasses were sorry for themselves and cursed there fate.
"I am hungry!" I whispered in a scared tone and wanted to slap myself tight for not getting filter to my words. My inner system and my tongue have exactly the relation like light and sound. Just like sound travels faster than light same way my mouth sound system travels way faster than my tube light brain.
"What can I get you at 2:33 am in the morning! Your highness!" Nandini snapped back with crooked eye brow.
"Ahan!trying to Being sarcastic... I like it!" I said cheekily adjusting myself as I saw Nandini turning around completely to reach her handbag. She dig into her bag and roughly handed me a poly bag to which I opened curiously. My eyes twinkled as soon as I saw a triple tier bacon sandwich in it which was my favourite of course and last I checked she wasn't found of it much which brings me to conclusion that it was for me.
Pinch me hard for heavens sake I can't believe My eyes. I started munching on slowly as My stomach was actually already overflowing with chicken biriyani that was served in dinner.
"Why did you lie that you are hungry!" Said Nandini while concentrating on the road ahead.
"Because I wanted to ask you why are you such a dark shade personality! Come on... What just happened few minutes ago wasn't normal! How you handled the situation wasn't normal. How you behave isn't normal. How the hell you work like donkey is not normal. Who are you dammit!" I asked her which eventually made her spare a glance at me making car halt on road side.
"What if I say I was a prostitute!" Said Nandini looking intently in my eyes with out even an inch of regret or guilt claiming it and her eyes were definitely expecting "as expected" kind of a reaction.
"So what! It happens!" I shrugged and spoke causally as if I was telling her the current weather forecast. I tried to keep it as simple as I can so that she doesn't feels that the things getting awkward between us and I will feel something negative about her.
"Really!" Asked Nandini again facing me completely looking for me to continue.
"See! I DO NOT BELIEVE that a women's virginity is some treasure that should be guarded like a Crown Jewels as without it she is somehow diminished on her wedding night. I really support the idea of everyone being in charge of their own bodies, and believe that a man who sees a lack of hymen in his wife as some kind of commentary on girls character is basically an evil bas***d with girth or length issues." I spoke confidently presenting her my ideology on this topic while munching on my sandwich.
Shock would be an understatement for Nandini as not in her wildest dreams she was expecting such ideology and reaction to the truth if her life. I could see her straight lips forming in a smile with actually reached her eyes for very first time since I met her.
"And yes! Point is YOU WERE... So don't carry baggage a of past in future!" I advices her making her chuckle.
"That's the reason I have found you one heck of a soul in the entire campus!" Said Nandini and halted her car in front of a central rose garden and asked me to follow her. ( please do read the notes provided above and below the story)

First of all how many thought the guy in the cab to be Manik? LOL
secondly, this is a real story with real characters I am not adding any character in my own. They all exist in this world.
Thirdly, as I never dared to ask my friend whose story this is in quiet details what exactly was the conversation which will be provided further in coming updates it will be Misha who will be twisting stuff in her way.
So again a request, I am just dictating and wishing to write this story of one of my friend but life is given to it by Misha itself...
Your very own buddy...
